Post from the Innamorata (The House of Teeth, #1) forum
Great world building so far, and I like the customs she set in this story. I find it very unique how each house has a purpose of their own in funerals. Incredibly interesting, I look forward to how this will turn out

This is the first book I’ve ever read by this author and man…. I wasnt ready for how heavy it was going to be. I knew it wouldnt exactly be happy but it bore into me in a sense that it felt like I was dragging my feet through the mud. I didnt hate the book but I definitely didnt fully enjoy it. There were a couple of things to look forward to but something bad always took it’s place, leaving the happiness as a fleeting thing. Again, not the worst I’ve read, but my god what a drag.

Started off with an interesting premise to be honest but devolved into, at least for me, a quite bland ending? Like it felt very hollow to me in a sense that after everything that happened, there wasnt much of a sense of reward looking at the characters in the end.
A lot of the prose was well written and quite interesting to be honest and I was always so curious about Abitha, but I didn’t feel much at the peak of everything happening. It wasn’t a terrible book, and I walked into it blind, so I had no expectations at all, and somehow it wasn’t all that I’d hoped it would be as I read through it. Bit of a meh ending, though I understand a lot of people enjoyed it, and I respect that, I unfortunately cannot share the same sentiments. I don’t regret reading it though, it was interesting to read about Paganism in this sense too!

I started this book on March 30 and I was already kind of in a reading slump in general. No idea what the book was about btw just went in blind.
Today, at 1 am I decided “let me finish this book so I can read this random series I’ve been curious about”
It is 4 am. I am sobbing. My dumbass inhaled this book and I am sobbing at 4am.
10/10 read, it’s better when you go in blind but god DAMN 😭

I love these genres of horror-esque stories that seem so disconnected at first but then it’s revealed that they were connected all along. Really fun and quick read, I enjoyed this book so much 🩷
